Free stack of pancakes at IHOP on 02/28/06 7am-2pm

[trisho.]

Mark your calendars kids...


On February 28, 2006 from 7 AM to 2 PM IHOPs across the country will celebrate National Pancake Day (also known as Shrove Tuesday) by offering our guests a free short stack of pancakes*. This is going to be our biggest one day celebration in our history.

National Pancake Day has a rich history that stretches back centuries and has always been a time of celebration. National Pancake Day always falls on Fat Tuesday and this year it will be a celebration at IHOP.

So gather your friends, family and neighbors and come to your local IHOP and enjoy a short stack of pancakes on us. All we ask is that you consider making a donation to a great charity like First Book or other local, worthy cause. Where else would you celebrate National Pancake Day than IHOP? See you there.

* Limit one free short stack per guest. Valid for dine-in only, no to go orders. Not valid with any other offer, special, coupon, or discount. Valid at participating restaurants only, while supplies last.

I marked that day on my calendar a month ago.

I'll need a reminder on the 27th.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that thread. Sorry about that. I also noticed that Newton edited the crucial info out of it yesterday afternoon.

Wow, she's pissed.

Reminders are a good thing.

Constructive critisism is supposed to be a good thing, too.

Some of us were just horseing around, her style sort of welcomed it.
One has to have thick skin on-line, even a place as welcoming as this one.

There is a difference between "constructive" criticism and an attack. . .

I welcome all suggestions and contructive criticism. . .a suggestion/criticism is offered not forced upon the individual. . .

When people didn't like the long subjects, I took the suggestion and shortened it.

For people who don't like my multiple posts. . .IGNORE, NON?

Contrary to popular belief, I have never posted 20 posts in a row or taken an entire page.

If I thought that multiple posts violated the rules of the forum then I would have succumb BUT people "bitchin & moanin" simply because THEY didn't like it are self-centered and narcissistic.

They claim that I'm "ruining" the forum but their concern is NOT for the forum BUT for their own needs . . .these same people never contribute anything useful to the forum.

I have a thick skin. . .I've put up with it from the old forum to here. . .but you know what. . .I've lived too many years to have to put up with this "shiat."

My posts were my way of contributing to the forum which is more than these same people have done.

I did not benefit in anyway but simply wanted to share any deals that I happen to come upon.

In the end. . .the trouble is not worth it to me. . .so

Thanks for listening and Have a nice day!

But are you going to get the hotcakes and the T-Fal pans?

I, for one, hope that you miss all the excitement.

Newton,
Please come back to post. I for one really miss your deal posts even if I didn't sign up for all of them. Who is going to remind me when it is a new LOST episode? You wouldn't want me to miss it would you? It might cause the island to explode, you never know.

Don't let a few people ruin it for you and the rest of us, please. You know my free panties won't last forever; I'll need more one of these days.

Well, I was trying to give anyone besides myself the benefit of doubt.
Attack seems a bit harsh though. So, screw 'em. (but, what about everyone else ? )

Some aren't very good at the offering part. (my self included, sometimes )

Good idea.
( I thought a bunch in one post was a good idea, too )
Whoever it was kinda presented the idea a bit harshly, though.

I'd guess 6 tops ( and rare ), I'd have to go look.

Some people certainly are selfish.

You must enjoy it just a tad. Come on, admit it.

I'll miss your witticisms which is what I read your posts for most of the time , anyway .
Especially the quick sharp witty come-backs during some bantering.
So don't quit posting all together.

Newt, please come back. I was going to have build an add-on to my apt just for all the free merchandise I was getting.

newtonmp2100 and others-

i have very much appreciated your efforts in providing this forum your "deal of the day".

some have interested me

others have not and i've passed

but in my humble opinion

they added a reason to check this forum.

as it provided me a reason to check the previous deal-mac oriented forums.

it is one thing to crack wise

and even the occasional spit ball is a reason for a smirk

but when we start ragging hard at each other

where the feelings of others are not respected

then, my friends, we have lost something.

i for one do not want to lose newtonmp2100

nor do i think it right to "drive" someone away.

we come together to "dis"-cuss macs and deals and the ways of the world.

i do not come to this site to read folks being "dissed"

your mileage may vary

be well
